Divénié is a town and capital of Divénié District in the Niari Department of the Republic of the Congo.

Founded in the late 19th century, the town has a colonial brick church built in 1899. However, it is in very poor condition due to lack of maintenance.

Jean-Jules Koukou, the Congolese actor, author, and theater director, is from Divénié.[1]
